The Jackson County Sheriff's Office reported the following incidents:

FRAUD: On Oct. 17, a deputy arrested Ryan Clay Cheek, 39, of Flowery Branch on charges of burglary and credit card fraud. Cheek is accused of entering a home in the Jefferson area and stealing several items, including an iPad, which was recovered at a location in the city of Tucker. Also, a stolen credit card was used at a store in Tanger Outlets in Commerce.

DRUGS SEIZED: On Oct. 16, a deputy arrested Jason Brandon Bray, 40, of Commerce, on a charge of possessing controlled substances. Bray was a passenger in a vehicle involved in a traffic stop in the Nicholson area. Bray was also charged with tampering with evidence, possession of drugs by an inmate and he was also served with an outstanding warrant from Franklin County.

ASSAULT SUSPECT: On Oct. 19, deputies were dispatched to a home on Mountain Creek Road where a woman said Adam Travis Jones, 27, of Loganville, entered her home unannounced and assaulted her.

The woman said Jones pulled a pistol and threatened her and her boyfriend. He left, but not before ramming his vehicle into her boyfriend's vehicle parked in the yard. Jones then fled from officers and hid his vehicle in some nearby woods.

He was later arrested on charges of aggravated assault, possession of marijuana, reckless driving, obstruction, damage to property, reckless conduct, simple battery, burglary and making a terroristic threat.

BATTERY: On Oct. 19, Deputy Chris Peters was dispatched to Wilson Cemetery Road, where a 19-year-old man said he was sitting on a couch with his girlfriend about 11 p.m., when a man came in, walked to the couch and punched him in the eye and called him a derogatory name.

The victim had a swollen eye as a result. The girlfriend told the deputy she had stepped into another room and did not witness the assault. The deputy attempted to locate the suspect, but he was not at home.

DRIVER LEAVES: On Oct. 17, Deputy Steven Bradberry was dispatched to a wreck on Holly Springs Road, Maysville, where he found a 1993 Chevrolet Cavalier that ran off the road and crashed into a tree and received considerable damage.

There was not a driver at the scene, but the deputy looked inside the car and found a wallet with a man's identification. When dispatch did a check on the license holder, it showed he was wanted on outstanding warrants in Jackson County. The car, however, was registered to a resident of Barrow County.

ATTEMPTED BURGLARY: On Oct. 18, Deputy Daniel Miller was dispatched to a home on Pleasant Acres Drive, Maysville, where someone had cut the screen on the front door. Nothing was found missing at the home.

THEFT: On Oct. 20, Deputy Chris Peters was dispatched to a home on the 8000 block of Georgia Highway 441 where a woman said she had moved out of a house and returned to collect some of her belongings only to find someone had entered the house. She found items scattered on a table. The woman reported that there have been some people camping in the woods across from her home for some time.

THREATS: On Oct. 20, Deputy Christopher Spears met with a 38-year-old Jefferson man, who said another man has been harassing him now for two months after the other man's dogs were stolen. The Jefferson man said he told the man he had nothing to do with the theft.

However, the suspect is threatening him with Facebook messages, so he blocked the man from his Facebook. The deputy advised him to save the messages and if the suspect comes to his home or workplace to call 911.

FLEA MARKET DISPUTE: On Oct. 19, Deputy Bruce Cronic was dispatched to the J&J Flea Market on Commerce Road, where an employee said she was collecting money from vendors when she tried to collect an additional $3 from one man, who had used some electricity. She said the man threatened to knock her out.

The 57-year-old Cumming man told the deputy he used the electricity only to test a DVD player and had unplugged the unit, after he learned there was an additional charge.

The man was advised to leave by the deputy and the business had him banned from the property.

MAN ARRESTED: On Oct. 18, a deputy was dispatched to AC Smith Road in Nicholson where he saw Clayton Colwell standing in the roadway waving his arms. Colwell, who was barefooted, said his truck broke down. Asked if he had been drinking, Colwell replied he drank some Johnny Walker scotch.

The truck was found down the road parked in a curve. Colwell, 21, of Blairsville, was charged with reckless driving and having an open container of alcohol.

DAMAGE: On Oct. 16, Deputy Melvin Edge was dispatched to Primrose Lane, Pendergrass, where a woman said she came home from work and found the front window broken. She expressed concerns that someone was trying to break into her home.

DISPUTE: On Oct. 15, Deputy Kevin McCook was dispatched to a home on New Kings Bridge Road, Nicholson, where a woman said her sister and the sister's boyfriend had been drinking and arguing. The deputy questioned the pair, who appeared intoxicated, about their behavior. They told the officer they would go to the bed and there would be no further problems.

COW DAMAGE: On Oct. 14, a resident of Old State Road, Talmo, reported cows came onto his property and damaged his shrubbery.
